Happy new year all,

I've got a list of parts that I would like to build, are they compatible? And also how much watts do I need off a power supply to support it, I've got a disk drive that i'll take out of my old pc, that doesnt matter does it?

These are the parts

CPU:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388529206&sr=8-1&keywords=AMD+FX-6300

Motherboard:

Ram:

Graphics Card:

HDD:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-internal-Hard-Drive/dp/B0088PUEPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388503773&sr=8-1&keywords=1TB+Western+Digital+Caviar+Blue+HDD

PSU:

The psu wattage is 500w... But all the parts together plus a disk drive is like 600 or something, does that mean I need a PSU over 600w to support them?

Most importantly, are they compatible?

Thanks all in advance

Yup, it all works, and you should be able to get medium on most games out there, and they will still look awesome. Glad I could help! Remember to select a "best solution" to help others with similar questions or problems.

Don't you need to add all the wattage together? Or do you just have to make sure the wattage the PSU supplies is over the watts the parts need?
Also is it all compatible? I don't want to buy them and then it all explode in my face lol, thanks for fast reply btw

@Sevenator When I look for parts on there some don't show up? I don't know why lol

For the most part everything except the Graphics card adds up to around 150-200w. Including the CPU and HDD's and what not, so for the most part all yo need to worry about is the graphics card power consumption.

Wait, before you go, I'm going to upload a picture of a disc drive, will it work in the build? Are there things to take into consideration?
